Hoping to improve the experience for cancer patients receiving chemo treatments, musician Zac Greenberg joined forces with pianist Phil DeGreg and drummer John Taylor to entertain 50 guests for a fundraiser at the Hilton Netherland Plaza. The event was hosted by Musicians for Health, a nonprofit that raises money for local health-related causes. M4H was founded by Greenberg and Joyce Elkus, who hosted the evening.
The event included a five-course dinner with wine at Orchids restaurant. Proceeds will help fund virtual reality headsets in development at UC Health’s Barrett Cancer Center. A collaboration between photographer Sam Stevens (of VR producer Peaceful Places) and Greenberg will combine music and imagery for the project, which may lower stress for chemotherapy patients during treatments.
